Chapter 748: Chapter 748 Opening 3_1

"I bet the line could stretch from the city gate all the way to the Pacific Ocean!" Chen Yun continued jokingly, "Zhilan, from now on, there will be lots of pretty girls coming and going at your Aroma Therapy Centre. I’m still single. If you come across any good ones, remember to keep an eye out for me. My family’s pressuring me to get married. If I see anyone suitable, I’d better hurry up and get married too!"

"Oh, what? Feeling a bit envious to see Ding Long cradling a baby?" Bian Muhe laughed.

He Zhilan was slightly surprised, "Ding Jinshi had a baby?"

"Yes, she delivered the baby yesterday at our hospital, a girl," Bian Muhe nodded, "You didn’t see... Ding Long was so happy when Ding Jinshi was brought out of obstetrics. He was giving their little girl big kisses in her presence."

Thinking about it, it seemed almost a year since He Zhilan had last seen Ding Jinshi. Sometimes, as small as the capital seems, she could go an entire year without seeing Ding Jinshi. In contrast, people she didn’t want to see, she could bump into even when abroad.

"When will she be discharged?" He Zhilan asked Bian Muhe, "Was it a natural birth?"

"A natural birth. She’ll probably be discharged the day after tomorrow. Why, are you planning to visit her?" Bian Muhe responded.

He Zhilan nodded, "Ding Jinshi is a nice person; she has helped me before. It’s only right to visit her now while the situation between us isn’t too tense."

"Alright, drop by the hospital tomorrow morning if you have time," Bian Muhe didn’t dislike Ding Jinshi, only her husband Ding Long.

The banquet ended around half past nine. Lin Chan drove He Zhilan home, amid the envious stares of the young men. In the car, he whistled cheerfully and laughed non-stop, "Do you know? So many people asked me today about my relationship with you. Many asked if I was your boyfriend, I found that hilarious! By the way, my parents said they want to adopt you as their god-daughter. What do you think?"

He Zhilan shook her head, "I know your parents mean well, afraid that I might be bullied. But it’s better not. I have to think about my father back home. If he knew I was going to have foster parents in the capital, he would be happy for me, but he’d also likely overthink it, feeling useless because he couldn’t offer me much help. My dad is a great man, I don’t want him to feel upset."

"You’re right." Lin Chan nodded, "It’s quite possible that your father might feel that you are distancing yourself from the He family if you decide to have godparents. He adores you, and it’s natural that he might feel lost. Besides, you spend most of your time in the capital, not at home."

Lin Chan reassured her, "Don’t worry, when I explain to my parents why you declined, they’ll understand. They really like girls like you who are exceptionally dutiful and sensible."

He Zhilan gave a smile and thanked him. She remembered Lin Chan’s parents’ kindness to her. She knew they were concerned about her having insufficient backing in business. However, He Zhilan wasn’t worried. Given the turnout at the banquet, by the next morning everyone in the capital would know of her good relations with the Xing and Lin Families. Anyone thinking of making a move against her would have to think twice.

The next day, half a page of the capital’s morning paper featured Lanteng Aroma Therapy Center. As everyone had expected, the pavilion instantly became the talk of the town.

Even at school, whenever people saw He Zhilan, they looked at her with a sense of admiration. After all, it was rare for someone of her age to have such ambition.
